Business Storytelling

No film or television drama succeeds without a strong screenplay and
most great screenplays are achieved through re-writing. Development
heaven is having your work-in-progress improved by intelligent enquiry
and helpful suggestions. This process makes a screenplay taut and
effective, while keeping the writer motivated. Most writers find
this enjoyable and energising. Our goal is to help filmmakers achieve
success by strengthening the story to the point where it cannot
fail to attract collaborators and move its audience.

Our work is in the tradition of the revered teacher of screenwriting,
the late Frank Daniel, which always asks, How will the audience experience
the story? The most important part of our work is to allow the writer
self-expression and not to impose solutions on the writer. The approach
is Socratic, which is to say that we enquire about the writer's intentions
where we perceive lack of clarity or possible weaknesses in a work in
progress. Then we offer solutions based on our decades-long study of
the craft of screenwriting.
